when it all melts down, i'll be there.

you didn't rub the lamp sooo why would i give you 3 wishes? now that the process has been disturbed, you have to wait at least 7-10 business days before you can get a shot at some. i made a whole song with cake in the name. isn't that enough??

you never told me i could only get my wishes via a magic lamp! you're not playing fair. did you make the song about me? did i ever cross your mind at any point while you were making the song? no? i didn't think so. therefore, not good enough joseph.

heartbreaking news but i guess it could be worse. you get some points for that, especially the jersey part. we might need to get you an updated one since we've changed looks since those days. appreciate you, man. we had a rough one last night. mostly on me, too, so just looking to the next one to bounce back. we can't get too far behind this early on or there's no coming back. always good to have something ready to go but i feel like you're not gonna be going anywhere anytime soon.

well i'm glad you're choosing to not judge me too harshly for it. yeah, maybe you can get me a more updated jersey. if i manage to catch a game on my down time, i can get some wear out of it. hey, that's okay. we all have those days so don't be too hard on yourself. you know how it goes, just try and refocus and get yourself back on top form for your next one. i believe in you.

man, people these days just don't understand good music anymore. a band like oasis deserves all the dang hype in the world, even i understand that! shit, yeah you guys did. you were and still are one of the biggest bands of the 2010's! holy shit, you're friends with don henly?! color me even more jealous than i already was. it's always nice having those kinds of people in your life, you know?

tell me about it! exactly. honestly, it saddens me the amount of people who've told me that they don't get the hype or that they don't care. i'm glad at least you understand. you really think so? even after all this time? i know, i can't believe i get to say that either. it's like a 'pinch me' moment every time i even think about it but honestly he's like the coolest dude in the world. yeah, absolutely. i'll forever be grateful for him.

that's usually how it's been for me. or if someone's playing at sofi, they usually have tickets reserved which is always nice. that would 100% humble me so bad, i wouldn't take anything for granted ever again so..i understand where you're coming from. maybe during my BYE week, i'll see what i can make happen.

yeah, it certainly is a very humbling experience. not a fun one. do not recommend. it's so easy with the lifestyle we live to take things for granted, you don't even realise you're doing it because everything just becomes a norm and then something like this happens and you're brought back down to earth again. in a way i guess i should be thankful. getting humbled doesn't always have to be such a bad thing.

you're leaving the world (me) hanging. did you get the tickets or not? should i send a carrier pigeon to wish you a happy belated birthday or are we good?

you're never going to believe it but i did it. i got the tickets. well, kind of. the how isn't important, just that i'm able to go now. a carrier pigeon, really? is that all i deserve, after everything we've been through? and knowing of my fear of birds, that's just cruel sel. c'mon, now.

But why were they in a band? How could they hate each other and be on top of each other like all the time? I mean I guess it could lead to animosity, but still. That's crazy that they managed to do that, in an odd way I'm proud of them. Hopefully they do more dates so everyone gets to see them.

well, they were brothers. you know how some siblings can be. they're both pretty hot-headed with strong views and opinions and from what i know, they clashed a lot creatively which obviously caused a big problem and drove them to finally split the band. when they did, they could go their own separate ways and create the music they wanted to create, the way they wanted to create it. i feel like that happens in a lot of bands, as sad as it is. yeah, i think the demand is so high that they're going to have to release more dates than they expected.

you know i’ll be there in a heartbeat, brother. i’ll bring snacks, a couple of guitars, and we can turn your oasis misery into a full on jam session therapy. if you think you can teach me “wonderwall” without laughing at me too much, i’m game. and don’t worry, we’ll work some serious magic to get you into that venue—between your charm and my puppy eyes, they’ll have no choice but to let us in.

you better be! regardless of my pity party over oasis, we are long overdue a hangout sesh, you know? we've both been so stupid busy this past i don't know... year? i miss you man, we need to catch up and talk shit again. i promise to not laugh at you too much teaching you how to play wonderwall, don't worry. just be patient with me, alright? i know you've got it in you. that's right! nobody can stop us, we're a force together.

i don't mean to hurt you!! i think it's a cultural thing is all. if i grew up in the UK, I'd probably feel the same way. i try not to be too nostalgic, but my 2000's playlist is a freaking jam.

yeah, you might be right about that. it feels very much like a home grown kind of thing. that's fair. i find myself getting a little lost in nostalgia sometimes, it can be both a good and bad thing.

i gotta admit, i’m not entirely sure i get the hype around oasis. but if the tickets are as hard to get as they say, i’d probably end up clutching my "definitely maybe" vinyl in despair too. while i might not understand the obsession, i get the heartbreak. if you need a fellow non ticket holder to join you in the "what do we do now?" i'm here for you.

people keep telling me that and it kind of makes me want to bang my head against the wall but like, i get it. i know they weren't to everyone's taste and even more so, didn't hit america and have the same impact as they did in the uk. it does make me a little sad but it is what it is. thanks man, i appreciate that. i've not given up hope yet though and there's still time.

I mean it wouldn't be you specifically, I bet it would probably be the person behind you. But I'm sure it'll be totally fine. Oh yeah, over and done with.

yeah but i would feel the guilt of being the extra body in there. like these places have capacity limits for a reason, i don't know. i know i'm probably just overthinking it, like i always do.

Oh so you have the standing room only thing? Gotcha. It's wild though that you're like...competing with half the country just to get tickets.

yeah, honestly i'm lucky they're even letting me in. you know i could be like a fire hazard or something, if i'm the reason the place is just that one person too much over capacity. but hopefully nothing bad happens for that to be something that weighs too heavily on my mind. yeah, this whole thing went kinda bonkers. i'm glad all the drama is over now though. at least, i hope!
